Raydog and Carl, Thanks a lot for the quick answers.

Raydog, I don't really have a way to check the capacitors in the block and no, this radio wasn't working when I got it. I still haven't plugged it in to try it. I probably could now as I've already replaced all the electrolytic and almost all of the paper and bakelite block capacitors.

Carl, I did notice the schematic shows two .015 capacitors for # 71 so I'm inclined to consider the bakelite block (part 3793-DU) that I've actually got in my radio as being correct. That bakelite block uses two .015 capacitors.

Thanks again,
Tom

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM
